Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 Product Security and Bug Fix Update

Important

A flaw was found in Axios, a promise-based HTTP client. This vulnerability occurs because Axios does not correctly handle hostname normalization when evaluating NO_PROXY rules. An attacker can exploit this by crafting requests to loopback addresses (e.g., localhost. or [::1]) which bypass the NO_PROXY configuration and are routed through the configured proxy. This can lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities, enabling attackers to access sensitive internal or loopback services that should otherwise be protected.

CWE-1289 - Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

A flaw was found in path-to-regexp. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input that generates a regular expression with multiple sequential optional groups. This leads to an exponential growth in the generated regular expression, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to excessive resource consumption.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

A flaw was found in Pallets Click. This command injection vulnerability, located in the click.edit() function, allows an attacker with an unprivileged account to execute arbitrary operating system (OS) commands. This could lead to unauthorized control over the affected system.

CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

A flaw was found in minimatch. A remote attacker could exploit this Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability by providing a specially crafted glob pattern. This pattern, containing numerous consecutive wildcard characters, causes excessive processing and exponential backtracking in the regular expression engine. Successful exploitation leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), making the application unresponsive.
